Even though I hate to see Dark Vengeance go, I really like GW's choice here. Space Wolves are pretty incredible and the Orks are awesome too. Maybe we'll get lucky and this new set will be even more customizable than past sets. Also I'm crossing my fingers they still include some Defkoptas! It might be too much to hope though.

The new Starter will be $125 USD, include a small rulebook and a campaign supplement but it looks like only the character models are going to be new sculps, the units are current kits. SW will have 1 new Character, 5/grey hunters, 5 Bloodclaws and 5 terminators the OrKs will have 1 Character, 3 Killa Kans, 10 Grots w/Hearder and 5 Nobs. Anyway heres some more pics from next weeks WD.

I guess its not going to be a starter in the traditional sense but more a limited Campaign box set that just happens to come with a mini rulebook, Dark Vengeance is supposedly coming back with the new rulebook.

Tho some good news is that they plan on doing more of these themed limited sets with different armies every 6 months or so. They will be tied in to future campaigns that will also be updating the older supplements like Sanctus Reach had the updated rules for Planetstrike.

I kinda wish they weren't limited as they have a decent value and it would be a nice thing for beginners to be able to choose with a friend between many different armies rather than being limited to the ones in the current official starter set.

Beasts of war was saying something interesting about this. What if there will be no more starter box sets from now on. What they will do instead is; after 2 new army updates put them in limited campaign sets with rulebook. So twice a yr. a campaign book with the 2 latest armies on showcase. Cheaper for them since they only have to produce 2 unique hq's. And the rest of the army with in this box are just models from the general boxes they already sell. Unlike DV where everything is made be sold with DV. So will next campaign box be Blood Angels vs Dark Eldar.
